Co-enzyme Q10

Why it's Dermoi

Co-enzyme Q10 is a powerful antioxidant that protects the skin against premature aging and supports cellular energy production.

Co-enzyme Q10 is present in every cell of the body as it is an essential molecule for the electron chain transport in the mitochondria. In addition, Co-enzyme Q10 acts to prevent premature aging as it has extremely powerful antioxidant properties, which are effective against damage from environmental free radicals.

The bodies levels of Co-enzyme Q10 depletes with age, and therefore, its incorporation into cosmeceutical skincare and nutraceutical skin supplements supports overall health during the aging process.

Description

Co-enzyme Q10 is a fat-soluble antioxidant molecule that is present in every cell of the body. ¹ This is because, Co-enzyme Q10 plays an essential role in energy production as it is involved in the electron chain transport of the mitochondria. ¹ With age, levels of Co-enzyme Q10 within the skin decline. ¹ In addition, exposure to UV radiation depletes Co-enzyme Q10 in the skin.¹

Adequate antioxidant protection is a crucial factor in protecting against the aging process. Free radicals are reactive molecules within the environment that can react with the skin and cause damage to cellular lipids, proteins, and DNA. Antioxidants defend against free radicals protecting the skin tissue against damage and inflammation.

For skincare, Co-enzyme Q10 is effective when applied topically or taken orally in a nutraceutical supplement. It is an effective active that can be used to protect against the aging process, as well as skin damage. Co-enzyme Q10 is also great for minimising damage from UV exposure when combined with a broad-spectrum sunscreen.
